This book is a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of
pre-malignant disease, emphasizing common themes in the field,
including stem cell biology and histologic modes of cancer
progression between the distal esophagus and stomach. Its sixteen
chapters discuss metaplastic tissue change in the upper GI,
clonalexpansion of early neoplasia, stem cell dynamics in
experimental models, pathology of early esophageal squamous cell
carcinoma, therapeutic modalities for esophageal squamous cell
carcinoma, pathology of Barrett's esophagus, screening, early
detection and novel diagnostic tools for Barrett's esophagus,
clonal evolution of Barrett's esophagus, endoscopic therapeutic
modalities of early esophageal cancer, pathology of early gastric
cancer, and experimental models for gastric cancer. Stem Cells,
Pre-neoplasia and Early Cancer of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
is an integrative text on both the current state of translational
research on every cancer development of the upper gastrointestinal
tract as well as on novel clinical diagnostic and therapeutic
modalities. It highlights a rapidly growing field within cancer
research and is essential reading for oncologists, biochemists and
advanced graduate students alike. Springer's Advances in
Experimental Medicine and Biology series presents multidisciplinary
and dynamic findings in the broad fields of experimental medicine
and biology. The wide variety in topics it presents offers readers
multiple perspectives on a variety of disciplines including
neuroscience, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, biomedical
engineering and cancer research.

The past 20 years have seen a surge of research into colorectal
cancer, which is a reflection of the need to improve our methods of
treating patients suffering from this increasingly common form of
cancer. Greater knowledge of the basic mechanisms involved in
colorectal carcinogenesis is an essential prerequisite to
improvements in cancer prevention. In this volume the editors have
brought together an impressive list of experts to cover the
epidemiology, pathophysiology, morphology and basis for new
diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to early detection and
prevention. This broad scientific approach provides the reader with
up-to-date review of our current state of knowl edge of colorectal
carcinogenesis and indicates how this information can be used to
generate more research and create new opportunities for diagnosis
and treatment. This is a book of knowledge and ideas, some of them
still at the stage of theoretical interest, but others with
practical potential for the care of patients. I recommend it to
those who have a research interest in colorectal carcinogenesis, as
well as to readers who wish to know just how far medical scientists
have progressed in their efforts to achieve the ideal of cancer
prevention."
The only book to attempt any perspective on methods of assessing
cell proliferation is published to satisfy the growing interest
amongst pathologists and clinicians in areas which have for more
than three decades been the preserve of experimental biologists
